I think that a Greater Pagan Community™ for the sake of the institution is a extraordinarily Bad Idea®.

I don’t believe progressive politics should be linked with paganism.

I don’t accept that the personal is political.

I think that people do better when they accept responsiblity for their own actions and words.

I think that letting folks work it out for themselves works better than telling them what to do

I think that life and culture is something that you should experience and not read about.

I firmly believe that a revealed religion serves the interests of priests.

I believe humans were given a Divine gift and it’s up to us to learn how to draw that out.

And I believe it’s better to have allies, not servants.

Because I do not bow at the political altar, because I do not treat paganism as the Instrument to Change the World to What It Truly Should Be, and because I do not hang my head in shame for the sins assigned to me, I am a threat to progressive paganism.

As an institution. Never to the individuals. Although that is a threat itself.

Here’s the thing. Faith and politics should not be mixed.

❝Religion can not be allowed the coercive power of the state and the state can not be allowed the moral justification of faith.❞ — NeoWayland, The new liberal evangelicals

A narrow slice of life, but now and again pondering American neopaganism, modern adult pagans & the World.

Pagan philosopher, libertarian, and part-time trouble maker, NeoWayland keeps truths alive despite a wash of nonsense. But don't be surprised when he's doing the “nekkid pagan guy” thing.
There are pagan news & opinion sites. Technopagan Yearnings is not one. It’s more like a digital binder with interesting pagan stuff. And nudity. Don’t forget the nudity.
Since Wren Walker retired the Wren’s Nest of The Witches’ Voice, there is not really a pagan news site anymore.
The Pagan Vigil Reader is a pagan news aggregator.
You won’t find porn or erotica here. I do discuss nudity & sex, but I do not describe sexual events. As a naturist I admire the human body so you will find nudes here. You will not find photos of sex. There is some art showing sex and orgasms in a ritual or mythical context.
Updated weekdays when possible, otherwise irregularly as circumstances permit and the mood strikes.
This is the fourth major version of Technopagan Yearnings. I still have № 3 on file with it’s comments. I’ll convert that bit by bit as I get the chance. This version uses
RealMac’sRapidWeaver instead of Lifli’s iBlog.
